New submission from Марк Коренберг: In linux (Since 2.6.9) we can use syscall
prctl(PR_SET_NAME, "Some thread name") to set thread name to the kernel. This thread is seen under this name in some process tool (like top, ps, pstree (have bug reported connected with this) and others). It will be nice if this syscall will be called (from correspoding thread=TID) when changing (setting) thread name. Note, that in current implementation name will be truncated to 15 bytes in kernel. This work very well using ctypes or python-prctl module. Also there is error in manpage about prctl saying that name is set to process (already sent to maintainer). Really, name is set to each thread. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 189507 nosy: mmarkk priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Set thread nema in linux kernel type: enhancement versions: Python 3.3, Python 3.4, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18006> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
